Rye Seed and St. Augustine how does that work?

Rye Grass

“Dumb Question!     What happens to the St Augustine grass we currently have?  Will it return?”

Yolanda Ramirez

Hi Yolanda,
Not a dumb question….Many of my clients have asked the same question and yes it will return.

Keep in mind that there are two kinds of Rye, both annual and perennial. The difference is in the grasses’ preference of climate. Perennial is perfect for those living in cooler climates with milder summers, while annual will only live for one season and must be replanted in southern states.

The rye seed that JenScapes is applying is an annual which will give you green lawn throughout this fall and winter AND WILL CHOKE OUT YOUR WEEDS..   This Rye grass  we spread will die when the weather becomes hot in late spring.  Just in time for your St. Augustine to come out of dormancy.

Rye grass is what you need to keep your lawn beautiful all year long. The best time to plant for optimum forage production is September and October in fall.

After spreading seed, water lawn immediately, preferably in the late afternoon.  Mow rye grass after it sprouts and enjoy a blanket of thick green grass.

Don’t skimp on the quality of seed.

BE GREEN,

Jen
